GNOME 3.8.1 newstable release

What’s coming in 3.8

The most highly anticipated feature in 3.8 will be the support of Wayland. Even if the Distros don’t run it by default, Wayland will exist in repositories of the most distros and GTK 3.8 will be compiled with Wayland flags.

Gnome 3.8 will introduce a bunch of new applications, a re-designed Nautilus (and many more re-disigned apps), a better notification system for Gnome Shell, and a more integrated environment with Cloud services. We will also see an improved Software App and an improved package-kit.

It will be really interesting to see that calendar app in the background and how it will perform. Right now google-calendar is too… online dependant and maya isn’t done. Especially interesting would be if this means that 3.8 will finally replace that “started-as-an-outlook-clone”-evolution UI with something more task-oriented.
